Lets join hands and go over the fiscal cliff together!
The so-called fiscal cliff is fast approaching and politicians on both sides of the aisle are predicting Armageddon and the end of times. When liberals and conservatives agree on anything, even going to war, I immediately become very suspicious and conclude that there is something very wrong in Denmark.
While it's true that the drastic cuts in military spending, which are part of the sequestration, might not be the wisest move in a world that is becoming increasingly more third world and anti-American as each day passes, it also is true that the military is one of the most wasteful institutions on the face of the earth. Certainly the cuts in military spending resulting from the sequestration would not be nearly as crippling as the military hawks would have us believe.
Similarly, taxing the rich is nothing more than a redistributive liberal scheme to buy votes from non-productive members of society; but it is a meaningless exercise in futility because, if we confiscated every last penny from the so-called rich, it would fund the government for less than three months. The liberals in Washington DC know this and only continue with this erroneous line of propaganda to stir up their clueless base, you know the 20,000 who lost their good paying jobs when they forced Hostess (the maker of Twinkies) into bankruptcy. These witless wonders will believe anything because they live in la-la land! They also don't have a worry in the world because they know Obama will take care of them.
In any case, I am willing to cut the military and take a little more from the so-called rich to get to the second part of the sequestration which forces a significant reduction in federal spending. No one in recent memory, not even Reagan, has been able to make a significant dent in the growth of the government and the accompanying escalation of the national debt over the long haul. Oh, Reagan slowed it down a little, and there was actually a small budget surplus for a couple of years in the late 90's when Clinton was president and the republicans controlled both the house and the senate, but these were simply exceptions that make the rule. As a whole the moneys spend on everything the government gets its grubby hands on has been growing at an exponential rate since the Eisenhower administration in the 50's. Things have become so bad that the Obama administration ran up more debt in his first four years than did all of our previous presidents combined! At this point our national debt exceeds 16 trillion dollars, that's a 16 with 12 zeros after it. I don't know about you, but I can't begin to fathom numbers of this magnitude.
In any case, the only way to slow down this monstrosity, that is our government, is to significantly curtail the multitude of social programs that have been the bread and butter of both the democrats and liberal main stream republicans for over 60 years. The sequestration forces such a change in public policy by greatly reducing the millions of unemployed who are dependent on programs such as food stamps, never ending unemployment insurance, affordable housing and unlimited healthcare (think sex-exchange operations for all public employ union members in San Francisco many of which are sexual misfits) to name only a few of the worst offenders. Medicare and Medicaid also will take a hit under sequestration, a well deserved hit I might add.
By the way while I'm at it, as long as there is a single grape to be picked in our great central valley, or a single artichoke to be picked in beautiful Monterey county, the unemployed low-lives in our inner cities should be forced to pick them. Agriculture is a year around operation in many areas of our country and the able bodied unemployed should be forced to perform this work. If they refuse they should be allowed to starve. I will bet my last dollar that few will elect to starve. A policy like this would go a long way towards solving our problems with illegal immigrants.
I got a little off the track here, but my main point is that sequestration seems like our best option at this point of time. Yes, it might be painful on the near term and, yes, it might lead to a second recession of short duration, if we are not already in one, but in the long run it seems to be our best option. I for one do not trust that despicable cry baby John Boehner to work out a meaningful compromise with Obama, he simply doesn't have the balls for the job, well in truth he hasn't any balls, that's the long and short of it!
So, let's join hands with the liberals and jump off the fiscal cliff together. I for one will be wearing gloves so as not to dirty my hands!

Analysis Of The 2012 Presidential election.
When I wrote my novel Escape From Chaos- 2015 and the Second American Revolution (Merrill Publishing, Xlibris Corp) over two years ago, I predicted that Obama would be re-elected in 2012. This was somewhat of a gamble since, if he had not been re-elected, the very premise of the book would have been baseless and 18 months of work would have gone down the drain the moment he was thrown out of office. However, I felt extremely confident of my prediction despite the widespread belief of most conservative political pundits that the voters would not support such an incompetent anti-American boob as Obama for a second term in the Whitehouse. Well, they were wrong, every last one of them including Limbaugh and Levin!
My prediction had nothing to do with Obama's record, nothing whatsoever! It is my strong belief that the liberals would have won this election no matter who their standard bearer, even Daffy Duck would have prevailed as long as he had a D beside his name. Similarly, it made no difference to me who the republicans might have chosen to run against Obama. The scarlet letter R would have been enough to defeat any republican candidate. No, the outcome of this, and all future national elections, has nothing to do with the candidates; to the contrary, it has everything to do with what America has become.
We are no longer the bright shining city on the hill that Ronald Reagan spoke of. The majority voting bloc in America today consists of a loose association of Mexican, Asian and Afro-American minorities who, with the brain-washed youth of our country and a host of single white mothers, form a insurmountable voting bloc which, in national elections, is impossible to defeat irrespective of who runs for office in either party.
These people have many things in common (low IQs, shallow foreheads, naivety, ignorance of the issues, immorality, a tendency towards criminality, laziness and slothfulness to name only a few of their more obvious characteristics) but the common thread that binds them together, more than any other, is their dependency on the government for all their worldly needs from the day they are born until the day they die.
I knew two years ago that the game was up. The underclass of our country, supported by the liberal elites who buy their votes ever election cycle, had become the controlling political force in America. Because of this simple fact, Barack Obama could not have been defeated this November, irrespective of how poorly he performed or who ran against him. So there is no reason to beat ourselves up over the outcome of this meaningless election or to second guess the efforts of Mitt Romney, or any other member of the conservative party, who attempted to prevail against the most incompetent American administration ever. Nothing any of us could have done would have made the slightest difference.
In fact, nothing of a political nature will change until the United States suffers a total financial collapse which, of course, is inevitable. In Escape From Chaos I predicted the government and our economy would crash in 2015, however, it could happen as early as next spring.
Just consider this fact for a moment. At present, with interest rates below one percent, 20% of every dollar the federal government receives in taxes goes to pay the interest on the national debt. If the economy should recover the interest rates will increase to the historic norm of 3 to 4%. When this happens every single dollar the Feds receive in taxes will go to pay the interest on our monstrous national debt! There will be no money left over to fund the military, to feed the poor, to fund education, to care for the sick or to fund our bloated bureaucracy. No, at that point we will be bankrupt. Sure, the feds will be taking in more in taxes due to our economic rebound but nowhere near enough to pay the interest on the nation's debt while funding the government.
At this point one of two things will happen. The government will simply cease to exist and we will fall into a state of anarchy. More likely, the Feds will massively deflate the value of the dollar, to decrease the significance of our debt, and the value of our saving accounts and retirement plans will, for all practical purposes, evaporate before our eyes. Either way, it's not going to be a pretty picture.
So what to do? Well, two things come to mind. First, buy guns and learn how to use them so you will be in a position to protect yourselves when the intercity low-lives invade the suburbs after the local, state and the federal governments collapse. Second, protect yourselves from inflation by buying gold and silver, as much as you can possibly get your hands on! Of course, you will not want to store it in a bank vault that's the first place the government will come to confiscate what little remains of you wealth, better to bury it under the old apple tree behind the house! Oh, there is a third possibility, you can bury your head in the sand and pretend that nothing will change no matter what happens in Washington. Good luck on that one!
